SHAWN LOGAN -- Calgary Sun

Airdrie is hoping a flurry of phone calls will cement its spot as Canada's Hockeyville as it faces off with four other communities vying for the title tomorrow on CBC.

Residents will crowd around TVs as they await the vote to determine if Airdrie will be crowned Hockeyville, earning the right to host an NHL exhibition game as well as being awarded big bucks for hockey equipment and arena upgrades.

Airdrie has survived from an initial 460 applications, earning a spot among 50 communities chosen for the program.

From there, videos highlighting the community and its hockey programs were enough to sway a panel of celebrity judges and viewers who called in or voted online.

Peter Brown, a co-captain of Airdrie's Prairie Pond Posse that spearheaded the bid, is in Ottawa waiting to tape the show's final episode and admits it's crunch time.

"We're into the Stanley Cup finals right now, but we're on pins and needles," he said of making the popular contest's final five.
